Everyone (except, of course, me) had a look of anticipation on them as they waited for the fortune-teller's answer to the stupid woman's query. I couldn't believe she dragged us into this small dark tent with a really suffocating scent just to have her own fortune told. I had protested before we went in, but everyone had seemed to like her idea and Judaiime had said that it would be fun, so here I was. The group of us was huddled in front of the fortune-tellers table, but I was the one nearest to the exit so that when I start to want to puke (because of the smell), I could go out easily.

Haru's question, which I had predicted, was about whom was she going to marry when she grows up. It just proved that she really was a stupid woman. Why would she do something like that? I knew she expected it to be Judaiime, but maybe she wanted a confirmation. And what was she going to do if it wasn't him? I half expected it to not be him because he was crazy about Kyoko Sasagawa and their relationship was getting better as time passes by. Uh, what am I thinking? I shook my head. It's her problem not mine.

"Young lady," The fortune-teller finally spoke in this spooky voice that made it seem like she really wasn't just an ordinary person. "You are destined to marry someone you know, but in fact, he's someone who you haven't known for too long. And it's someone you least expect or want."

"Someone Haru least expects or wants. Hahi, Miss Fortune-teller, can you tell Haru his name?" Haru said, looking mortified. I know what she's thinking: That she expected it to be Judaiime and she wanted it to be him.

"I'm very sorry, young lady." The fortune-teller shook her head in regret, as if she really wanted to tell Haru more, but couldn't. "So, is there any other one of you who want to have his fortune told?"

"Gyaaaa!" Lambo cried as his stomach grumbled like a protest. "Lambo-chan wants to go back to Mama and eat!"

And so, Judaiime, Haru, Yamamoto, Reborn, Kyoko, Ryohei, I-Pin, Bianchi (wearing goggles), Reborn and I marched out of the tent. This time, I was grateful to Lambo, whose irritating cry turned out to be useful this time. The sky was already darkening, indicating that there's rain coming and that it was the right choice to go home. As we went past tents and stalls of different purposes (games, foods, ticket-booths for rides) to the big archway, they discussed what the fortune-teller said about Haru's future husband, everyone saying his or her own opinions. Haru on the other hand, was silent and sulky. I was right about knowing what I thought. But to my surprise, I was a little curious about it and joined in their conversation.

"Who might it be?" Yamamoto wondered aloud.

"The person Haru-chan least expects." Kyoko said, a smile playing on her lips. She thinks it is a fun and mysterious puzzle, I guessed.

"Surely it's not Tsuna." Reborn said with amusement. At that Haru looked up and looked down again, even sulkier than before. I think no one else noticed it. Somehow, it made me pity her. "But Haru, can you think of any boy you've just met other than these idiots?" Meaning the Vongola Family. I thought.

"Well, Haru doesn't think so, aside from her classmate's brother whom she only saw once and is an eight-year-old." Haru replied without the usual enthusiasm in her voice. Woah. I didn't expect her to take it too seriously. "And the other boys I know are from the village we had lived in until I was seven."

"So, that leaves only the idiots Reborn-san was saying." Bianchi concluded.

"Let's cross each name first." Yamamoto suggested as they walked under the archway and exited the carnival area.

"I don't think it's Yamamoto" Reborn started. "Haru, you're in good terms with him, am I right?" Haru nodded. "And I bet it's the same with Ryohei and Lambo." Okay, why was I still not crossed out? I had been pretty sure that in no way would it be me. But something about the way the others analyzed made me start to feel nervous.

"Haya-" Bianchi started but was immediately cut off by me.

"Don't even think about it." I said with a threatening voice. "I would never marry the stupid woman."

"Neither would Haru marry you!" Haru said with a frown on her face.

"Well, it looks like it's Gokudera-san." Tsuna said innocently.

"Yes. Come to think of it, he and Haru-san never got along well, have they?" Yamamoto said with a laugh. I wanted to punch him hard on the face for that. I was thinking of a sarcastic comment to say when Bianchi spoke.

"So, who think that it's Hayato?" Everyone raise their hands except for me, Haru and Lambo.

"But," Reborn started as he put down his hand. "There's a chance it's Hibari. I bet Haru never thought of marrying Hibari, and she doesn't want him."

"Hahi? Hibari-san?" Haru said and she shivered. "It can't be. But I don't hate him; I'm just scared of him."

"Well, that's reason enough for you to not want him, isn't it?" Reborn said. Everyone, who now included me, nodded in agreement except for Haru. She really didn't want anyone but Judaiime, doesn't she?

"So, it's between Hayato and Hibari." Bianchi smiled.

There was nothing I could do now but to pray that it's the other boy and not me.

A/N: Okay, I'm back. Did you like it? Just thought of how it would be like if Gokudera and Haru found out that they are destined to be together. I thought it would be fun to write. But I'm saying this now, I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish this (but I truly want to). It depends on my mood. We're nearing summer vacation so I though there's a chance that I might write and write this until it's done :P But for now, let's just enjoy it. As for it's the setting (specifically time), it's up to your imagination. And oh, correct me if I'm wrong on the honorifics :P

Any comment or suggestion of yours is highly appreciated. I need them to keep me going.
